To tell this melancholy tale of how the desire for beauty can drive one mad, and can cause her to commit acts of pure evil to achieve it, we used imagery derived from early 20th century mysticism, the seance for entertainment, and the macabre purity of simulating wet plate photography. The images send a shiver down your spine and tingle your sixth sense. Obscura (Latin): Dark; Femina (Latin): Women Featuring the lovely ladies and charming men of The Foxy by Proxy Revue. Special thanks to Kate Von Achen.
